Well, I got the Jeep washed the next day (June 4th) and I got some work done on the airplane… since I am having to measure, test, cut, test then glue it I am pretty slow. Always seems to be some distraction after I get the glue on and waiting for a dry..
I got to this point last night… couple more pieces and glue time again..
Today, I had figured to make a run to Sapulpa for the Route 66 Blow-out… I wanted to see the cars and and what ever else they have going on… so we took off after breakfast (late) and headed that way… We got there about 11:30 am… no we are not very fast… It was pretty hot in Downtown… so figured we would not last long… but started out and they had a lot of cars and the crowd was lined up for a long ways…
Plenty of vendor booths as well… but most of it was ???? just stuff… Junk in my books but that’s ok… stopped in at the Art Center and visited with “distant” relatives and looked at some Art and cooled off… then on down the street..
I did see this at one vendor… interesting as they all move and spin… thought of the grandsons but we didn’t get any… will have to look for some more… they are Lego style and you can make anything you want and make it spin… uses a couple of AAA batteries… just fun stuff…
The cars were lined up along that street and usually 1 block each direction off that street…
Lots of 55, 56 and 57 Chevy types out…
I had a 64 just like this in white years ago… should have kept that… what a mistake in selling… it would be worth a small fortune now… if fixed up…
I would like to have a street rod, not sure why, other than just fun to drive and I did find this one that I might be able to afford and it was for sale… !
Real nice and the gold color is a great set on this one… some cost enough that you could gold plate them as much as they cost to fix up they way they did them…
Now this had a nice touch… don’t see window trays anymore…
Also a lot of mustangs… 65, 66, and some 67… a lot of red ones? they did make other colors too?
There was a Jeep Club there “jeepers anonymous” not sure I would have let that guy drive up on my tire… afraid it would come on over the hood… They had a big group in the show…15 jeeps maybe more?
I believe they were Chryslers? neatly done…
More of the Jeep crowd… one in total pink and one with just pink additions…
Nice 57 for sale… just $32,000…
The square dance club or OK is giving this 66 away and the date is Nov 7…? so I figured it might be a good date for Sherrie to win a car… ? I bought 3 tickets..
We got hot again so headed into a Jun Q E store to look at stuff, hopefully older than us… did find some old stuff but we remember most of it? so maybe not older ?
That is one thing I ain’t never had… a sandwich… I like it in pie but ????? sandwich?
Lot of nice orange vehicle… this might have been the nicest in orange… lot of work went into this one…
There were several cars for sale… this was the first tag for sale that you get the car free???
Don’t know Al but maybe he better check this out… some guy selling his car?
When we left we made a short tour of main street and at the motor cycle place saw this… I had heard about the slingshots but first time I had seen one… it is appropriately named… two seats, 3 wheels, and probably real fast, like real trouble fast…
We headed on home… I was all set to take 412 home but Sherrie said why not old 51… well it ain’t old and it is 4 lane out through Mannford from Sand Springs… but we took it anyway… less traffic, easy road… we did take a detour north at Mannford… I wanted to see the campground there… no luck as the lake has the road closed… on up the road is the sandy beach and Akdar Shrine park, again, road covered… so we just toured a few roads and housing areas and found this…
Way cool moving water, moving water wheel, great rock layout… must have a good sized pump to run enough water to have the streams it had and waterfall… I said we need to get a pump in the pond and run water down our river??? not likely… but she did say If I did that I would have to put in a bridge over it… too much work I am thinking but ? If it wasn’t also the addition drainage to the pond I might but the drainage thing brings in some complications..
We moved on home from there and agreed it would be a good day for a Root beer float… so run up to A&W to get one… placed my order and for the second time, (we tried the same thing last summer)… they didn’t have any ice cream? why even have the damn float on your menu if you never have the ice cream.. only other A&W I went to that didn’t have the float was in Canada about 20 years ago… and they didn’t even know what a float was up there… so we went to Sonic and they were happy to serve up a root beer float… … Didn’t get much else done after that… tinkered and napped and ?? played …
